• Monitor and report performance, defining success metrics, measuring event outcomes, sharing insights with senior leadership, and constantly optimising plans
• Own LiveOps tooling and campaign processes, ensuring smooth delivery via remote-config, content pipelines, and internal coordination, and leveraging new technologies to improve efficiency and effectiveness of LiveOps

Requirements

• Demonstrated ability to understand and empathise with a diverse player base, with experience using insights to inform segmentation strategies and craft personalised, engaging LiveOps experiences that resonate
